Electrifying on an all new upbeat single, “Why would we girls be sad”, Emmi Maaria has brought something new and exciting to the mix. We are loving it! Read on as we take a closer look into the track, as well as an update on this talented artist.
Emmi Maaria, the Finnish singer-songwriter and violist, is set to release her latest single, "Why would we girls be sad." The song, inspired by two poems from the Finnish poem collection, Kanteletar, combines strong folk riffs with electronic sounds, creating a unique blend of traditional and modern music. Simply speaking, it’s like nothing we’ve experienced before, and with that being said is exactly why we’re so excited for everyone out there to crank this up and give it a spin.
The song opens with a hauntingly beautiful viola solo, which sets the tone for the rest of the track. The electronic beats kick in, giving the song a pulsing, rhythmic feel. The chanting vocals, sung in Finnish, draw the listener in, even if they do not understand the language. The lyrics, inspired by the poems "Mitä me tytöt suremma" and "Mitä te pojat suretta," are simple but powerful. They speak to the idea that girls and boys are not so different in their emotions and experiences. The message is one of solidarity and understanding, making the song all the more poignant.
Emmi Maaria's vocals are strong and clear, delivering the lyrics with just the right amount of emotion. Her viola playing is equally impressive, adding depth and richness to the track. The production values are high, with each element of the song fitting together seamlessly. "Why would we girls be sad" is a beautiful and moving track that showcases Emmi Maaria's talent as both a singer and a musician. The combination of folk and electronic styles works so nicely, along with the chanting vocals, creates a unique and captivating listening experience. The song's message of unity and understanding is universal and timeless, making it a must-listen for anyone who appreciates good music.
